A Bittersweet Symphony. Top Story - December 2024.
Counting down from December (right now, as at the time of writing) to the beginning of 2024. The beginning of the year that is about to end (2024) is way different and significant than the ending. This may be true to form for some people, where the next holiday season leaves off from the last one somehow. In other words, you are revisiting any unfinished business from the previous holiday season in the current one, whatever shape or form that comes across for yourself.

Recurrences of Setbacks For Change, Growth & Healing.
No doubt, many others in the Vocal Media community (whatever your part in it) would echo my sentiments on this. The setbacks in 2024 (definitely speaking from experience) have been abundant. Abundant is not the word that I would like to use in this context; yet it comes as a surprise that us human beings (despite those setbacks that 2024 wrought) need the motivation and chutzpah from the sh!ts of 2024 to achieve more in 2025. And therefore make such more motivating and refreshing than your ultimate hot beverage in a blizzard.

Is the High Street on the Brink of Collapse?
Once upon a time, the cafe in the above picture used to be buzzing. That was before the once in a hundred year pandemic that we somehow had to have. Restrictions on the number of seated customers quickly happened, and then the renaissance and convenience of online shopping happened during quarantine; a combination of need versus boredom. Online shopping was (and still is) super convenient, and payment methods such as PayPal Pay in 4 and Afterpay are all too easy to obtain online versus the high street.

Having My First Iron Infusion: Before & After
Yours truly was feeling a bit run down and fatigued more often than soap removes dirt, quite literally. This is despite only working part-time, while having the gift of being a lady of leisure despite the tough economic challenges that we are all experiencing right now, as at the time of writing.

Managing Your Mental Health While Physically Unwell
My energy was that low. Goodness me, and nothing to be ashamed about; yet this article idea has been saved on my Vocal Media stories page for about a month now. If that tidbit does not hammer in the point that I have been as sick-as-a-dog (literally) out of the blue for the last few months, until a couple of weeks ago (as at the time of writing); then I don't know what will.

How To Improve Your Mental Health While Broke
There is no sugarcoating it. Even if you are mentally well, there are times where all of us confess to experiencing a bit of anxiety and/or depression in particular. According to the World Health Organization, both anxiety and depression has increased by 25% since the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic, and understandably so. Our movements became restricted, and the way that we all lived, worked, and played suddenly changed almost as quickly as soap removes dirt.

Perth is Just Purrfect
There is a spirit of curiosity and adventure that comes with the gift of travel. I say this with a heavy heart, with the empathy that some people were unable to travel, and even to this day are not able to fully appreciate the gift of travel for a myriad of reasons.

Did We Manifest AI Due to Collective Human Attitudes on Work? . Top Story - April 2024.
Food for thought indeed. There is a mighty fine line between "AI is taking our jobs" as a downright conspiracy theory, to something that is true and proven in some (if not many) occupations; from cashiers to illustrators, and robotic surgery to name, let alone robot lawyers for real. Furthermore, this article is not designed to create more fear and uncertainty than what is already circulating in the cosmos, but rather to view AI and the world of work from a different perspective.

An Honest Review of Gabby Bernstein's 21-Day Manifesting Challenge
Gabrielle (Gabby) Bernstein is a New York Times bestseller, and ironically is a New York based motivational speaker and life coach. After the crazy and fatiguing moments that last year (2023, as at the time of writing) manifested in the end, combined with an unexpected health scare before Santa could make his way down the chimney; I seriously needed some more motivation to kick start a brand new year on the right note. The choose-again method in the program was also quite helpful.
